Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Huh. It's a little off in some details, but does a pretty good neckbeard.

    I've been using Arch for several years, including off-beat offshoots like Artix, and have never once compiled a kernel on it. The last time I compiled a kernel was a couple of decades ago when I was running Gentoo.

    Arch is mainly a precomputed precompiled binary distribution; AUR is where you get the compile from source packages, and that's the community repos.

    Arch users may have a reputation for acting superior, and I'll admit that they Arch wiki justifies a lot of "look it up yourself" mentality, must because it's so comprehensively good. But I think GPT misses the mark on a couple of points, like extra fingers on a Stable Diffusion person.
